About Grove: Proximity Social

Grove is a social network that only works when you show up. No algorithm. No follower counts. No feed designed to keep you scrolling. Your social graph is built entirely through physical presence — the people you've actually been in the same room with. TAP Hold your phone near someone with Grove. Your profiles exchange instantly, offline, no internet required. Shared interests are highlighted automatically. STASH See something that reminds you of a friend? Save it for them — a photo, a note, a link. It delivers automatically the next time you're together in person. REACT When a stash item arrives, leave a reaction. It finds its way back to them the next time you meet. REMEMBER Every connection builds a timeline. First meeting, shared moments, things you saved for each other. The story of how you actually know someone. Grove has no accounts, no cloud, no data leaving your phone. Everything lives locally. Your relationships have a memory without sacrificing your privacy. Some things only grow in person.

What’s new

Version 1.0.2 · Updated May 7, 2026

A few quality-of-life fixes plus a smoother way to bring friends along. • When multiple Grove users are nearby, you'll now see each person's actual Grove name in the list; no more guessing between two phones called "iPhone." • Fixed a rare case where a new person nearby could briefly appear under a friend's name before you tapped. Identity is now resolved more carefully. • Invite to Grove got a refresh: a more prominent button on your profile, a friendlier message, and a gentle nudge when your Grove is just getting started. • Removed a WiFi warning that was firing even when WiFi was working fine.
